<h1> WALKTHRU-PROJECT </h1>
<h3>Interactive Virtual Building Environments and Simulation-based Design</h3>
  
<h3>Principal Investigator: <!WA3><a href="http://http.cs.berkeley.edu/~sequin">
Carlo H. S&eacute;quin </a></h3>

In this project we explore interactive virtual environments
of of existing or planned buildings.
Our key model that serves as the driving force for new tools,
algorithms, and user interfaces is a computer model
of Soda Hall
our new Computer Science Building.
<p>
Currently we work on the following tasks:
<ul>

<h2><li>Extending the Soda Hall Model, making it more photo-realistic.</h2>
